goody Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 1st race, firstly gutted I'm not there this yr,as in watching not racing lol, but made up for Hickman and Harrison already stars in their own right,now I'm not a guy Martin fan but listening to him speak after I felt really sorry for him the face said it all,I am a Honda fan but looks like this is a massive f**k up and IMO they should pull out and call it a day for the sp Quote
NeilM Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 Made up for DeanNicest most polite racer you could ever meet. 3 year old that bike too..lol Quote
Westbeef Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 I was made up for Dean too, seems a decent lad I was hoping he was going to hold onto that lead. Quote
MR_W Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 I wouldn't touch that Honda with a ten foot barge pole. Doubt Guy will either.MotoGP bikes have front end issues, the WSBK SP2 looks iffy and on the road racing its downright lethal.Then again their engines keep going pop in F1 and IndyCar so clearly across the board, Honda have engineering problems.

NeilM Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 I was made up for Dean too, seems a decent lad I was hoping he was going to hold onto that lead.Yea top lad.Lives only a few mile from us.Proper Bradford as they say. Dean has a severe case of verbal diarrhoea Whenever you see him at Scarborough or wherever he's brilliant wi kids. Quote
tuktuk Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Have honda released any info on guys sp2 problems? Looked like he had lost all confidence in it from that interview.I hope he doesnt get back on it for the rest of this TT. Quote
goody Posted June 6, 2017 Author Posted June 6, 2017 600's was cracking race, Honda reckon they'll be ready for the biggie Im not so sure tho Quote
NeilM Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Hickmans on fire.Unbelievably he was scratting round for rides during the off season. Quote
Hoggs Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Really glad Hickers is doing well, seems a top bloke and can't believe how quickly he's picked up the circuit! Quote
goody Posted June 6, 2017 Author Posted June 6, 2017 the young guns are coming of age that's for sure but has to be said Dunlop was awesome Quote
MR_W Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 New Honda wear is outhttps://apexhunter.co.uk/products/cbrgearbox?utm_campaign=facebook_post_2017-06-05T21%3A31%3A56Z&utm_content=facebook_page&utm_medium=admin&utm_source=facebookSent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Quote
goody Posted June 7, 2017 Author Posted June 7, 2017 Great side car race, very close in parts especially for some of the spectators.....no comments on bloody women drivers please lads Quote
goody Posted June 8, 2017 Author Posted June 8, 2017 Another good ride for hicky and made up for kneen,,,,r.i.p to the 3 that have given everything to the sport they and we all love Quote
goody Posted June 9, 2017 Author Posted June 9, 2017 Hicky gotta be pleased with himself so far, the interview with his mum made me laff, as for Rutter and Paton what can ya say...a dream come true, a few yrs trying but a big Quote
NeilM Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 My prediction for the senior.HutchyHickman M DunlopSo stick your money Dean Quote
goody Posted June 9, 2017 Author Posted June 9, 2017 Honda have announced they wont be taking part in the senior, no surprise there, im going Dunlop, hickman, hutchy but really hope hickman can get a win Quote
Westbeef Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 I came here to ask if Guy rode the Mugen in the Zero, googled it and found out the result gutted. Quote
Six30 Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 TT is a great event and can't imagine the atmosphere if you went for a few days , but to watch on TV it's a little boring compared to GP etc. Quote
goody Posted June 10, 2017 Author Posted June 10, 2017 TT is a great event and can't imagine the atmosphere if you went for a few days , but to watch on TV it's a little boring compared to GP etc. I love the moto gp and the tv coverage is probably better but for me the tt and any road racing like Scarborough , southern 100, or any of the Irish road racing series is far from boring, don't get me the wrong the tv coverage ain't great but it still makes my heart pound and hairs on my neck stand up, each to their own I s,pose, if we all agreed with each other that would be boring ,,,oh ye changed my mind about hutchy being on the podium in the senior Quote

Westbeef Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 I enjoy them both, but there's something about a bike flying down a 30mph road at 150/160/170+ that excites me a bit more. Quote
NeilM Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 TV wise the TT will never be as bigger spectacle purely as it's not mass starts.I attend both real roads racing and short circuit and to be honest they both have differing experiences.Scarborough and the NW etc are brilliant for the sheer thrill of being so close to the bikes etc.But for pure build up and excitement levels you can't beat being Sat in a grandstand 10 mins before the motogp race is due to go.

goody Posted June 10, 2017 Author Posted June 10, 2017 The senior was a classic, some scary moments but made up for the top 3 , well deserved podiums , can't wait till next yr but at least we got the classic in August Quote
